Pleasure-Seeking Sirenian or Manhandled Manatee?
Friends, a website has come to my attention that demands our attention. Yes, I speak of the (apparently) wildly popular www.hornymanatee.com. Who is better qualified than LEVIATHAN to weigh in on pressing questions of maritime ethics such as the one posed by the existence of this website purporting to show the bedroom (sic) antics of our sirenian sistern?
The questions multiply like fields of krill: are these manatees consenting participants? have they signed the necessary releases? just what is the age of consent for a manatee? if, as is evident to the careful observer, these images do not depict real manatees but manatee-impersonators, do they fall under the same legal sanctions as pseudo-child pornography? just who consumes these images and to what end(s)?
Comrades, colleagues: if not us, then who?

I am deeply troubled by this. As some of you may recall, a manatee was sighted lurking in the waters off Rhode Island several times this summer. In light of this new information, I can only imagine what his intentions were. Lock up your quohogs, my friends...and remember. It is never too early to talk to your native state sea life about the dangers of sex.
I think this is a highly successful instance of LEVIATHAN "crossover." The public has been bettered by their taste of the sea, and the humors that it provides. Especially good: the poem that Lipton reads on "Night Five." "Half a 'man' and half ... 'atee'..." Brilliant.
